Brien Lundin & KER QuickTake – From Conference Euphoria to Metal Mayhem: Metals Volatility, Stock Valuations, Rotation Trades
This Weekend Show pairs Brien Lundin (Gold Newsletter) with Cory & Shad’s MarketQuick Take to unpack the same question from two angles: was the silver/gold surge a true breakout… or a blow-off top? From conference-floor euphoria and record volume to a historic, gut-wrenching reversal, this Weekend Show digs into what this volatility really means, and how investors can survive (and potentially benefit) from the chop ahead.
- Segment 1 & 2 – Brien Lundin, editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, kicks off the show to discuss the sharp correction and extreme volatility in gold and silver, why a period of consolidation is likely, and how investors should think about sentiment, valuations, and opportunity in precious metals stocks going forward. He also shares a number of junior stocks with drill programs and near term news he is watching closely.

- Segment 3 & 4 – Cory Fleck and Shad Marquitz recap their takeaways from Vancouver’s Metals Investor Forum and VRIC – highlighting the packed, euphoric “high-fives and hugs” sentiment as gold and silver hit record highs – then dig into the sudden, historic post-conference selloff, what it signals about fading momentum and profit-taking, and why they’re watching for a rotation of capital from precious metals into copper, energy metals, and oil & gas.

Hi Tony, George Costanza on Seinfeld is such an annoying character. He lies about everything and then likes to pretend he is a big shot! Good One! LOL! DT 🤣🤣🤣
Nixon started it all and now Wall Street and The Central Bankers get all the money from The Federal Reserve. They will not complain about the hand that feeds them. Wall Street buoys the markets by putting a massive amount of money into a few stocks for control like “The Magnificent Seven” and The Central Bankers buy 1000’s of tonnes of Gold Bullion because they realize the real economy doesn’t reflect the overblown financialization of the stock market, and they are scared. The little guy can’t afford a home anymore, he gets peanuts and a cell phone so they can control and wire his brain. LOL! DT 😊

DOLLAR : Significant Resistance
When majority of the investing community is obsessed with Gold and Silver, transportation stocks absolutely killing it right now. LUV, DAL, UNP, WAB in super strong uptrend.
Energy is set for a great year. This is a monthly chart but CTRA just had its best weekly close ever on its best volume in years…

Hi Matthew. RIG made a nice advance too. Didn’t buy it at the bottom, but still trade was ok. All the best.
Hi Alex, I’m glad you brought up RIG, I will be watching it.
https://schrts.co/GRYxRBWE
Thank you very much, Matthew, for the RIG chart with three resistances lines. Best regards.
You’re welcome, Alex. Best to you.
Thanks Matthew, I don’t own CTRA but chart looks fabulous. I will probably buy next week. I own CVX, FANG, SU, EGY, SLB and no interest in selling these positions anytime soon.
LUV is up 56% since breaking out 3 months ago…

Months of upside lies ahead for LUV

It looks that way. I want to see how well it deals with $60.

Copper:Gold is sitting on the same huge fork support that held in 2008 and 2020. If it breaks, it will probably drop another 50%.
https://schrts.co/mzwQnQpy
Do you think it will break or hold? if we go into a depression I would sure prefer gold to copper.
I have a feeling it will break. We’re in a debt crisis and inflation is already masking massive deflation. That’s why gold hit 88 barrels of oil recently. In 2008, it was as low as 6 barrels. Exter’s Pyramid tells the story.
Copper:Gold is currently below its 1980 low and that was the end for that gold bull while this one is nowhere near the end.
To be clear, I am confident that copper will be rising against the dollar while it continues it its fall against gold.
If it breaks it will be a “Deflationary Depression”, instead of “Inflationary”, I believe they will bring on hyperinflation by continuing to massively print and sacrifice the dollar and then introduce a Central Bank Digital Currency.

So…About That Chinese Silver Short Whale
John Rubino – Substack – Feb 08, 2026
https://rubino.substack.com/p/soabout-that-chinese-silver-short
Once again, few are bullish enough about the silver miners. Take a look at SILJ; it has held up extremely well considering silver’s near halving. It’s nothing but a good thing to get those two weekly January gaps filled and reset sentiment.
https://schrts.co/btZqWgRa
Being mostly human myself, I’m probably not bullish enough either.

SILVER : Now At The Cusp
Added to Vizsla VZLA @ $4.20
The 30 year T bond closed lower for 4 years straight, 2021-2024. The last time it even had back-to-back down years was over 40 year earlier, 1980-81. This bond bear is the reason no gold bull since the 1970s should be compared to the current gold bull. So it should be understood that the real bull market right now is in the monetary metals since they are the pure anti-debt plays. From their 1971 lows to their 1980 highs, gold went up 2,100% while silver went up almost 3,800%. What did copper do? 196%. It tripled. Oil, with all the noise and headlines surrounding it (to distract the masses from the real problem) managed roughly 1,000%. In other words, it was cut in half against gold and fell by roughly 72% against silver.
The CRB priced in gold is back to its 2020 crash low for good reason BUT it does look ready to outperform again now that it has been crush by gold for almost 4 years.
